Butch--

I have seen that Croton come in in the small. Angel Plants pots at my HD.
I like the long-leafed, green and gold one too...

I forgot to show you my Acalypha in my above post. I sure hope it survives
this coming winter too--as it is supposed to be as bad as last winter.
Do your winters get seriously cold--like frozen? Your zone is same as mine,
but one would think that GA is a zone 8???

Today--I will be cutting back my totally, in full bloom, Brugmansias.
This happens almost every year.
October is their most glorious bloom flush. Always feel so bad doing this!
I plant them pot-in-pot too. Then, after I cut them back to haul them in my Shop,
I have to hack out the inner pot from the bigger pot with a sharp shovel.
The inner pot has holes cut into the sides of the pot (about 1 1/2" in Diam.)
and the roots grow through them into the bigger pot. That is how I learned to do it.

1--Maya Brug ib full bloom

2--Dr. Seuss Brug in full bloom

3--Both Brugs by my shed--see the big outer pots?

4--My Acalypha in August--just took cuttings--Hope they make it.

5--This is the tiny bed by my front door where the Acalypha grew.
I would love to move it--but I don't dare. The tall Amaranth was a volunteer...
